I had my second fill about 2 weeks ago, and am still not feeling any restriction. I know lots of people do not feel restriction until their third fill...however that third fill is different levels depending on the Dr. I asked my Dr. what I was filled to, and he said a 6 (I dont know if that is .6 or 6) But that seems somewhat aggressive compared to what others say they have gotten on their second fill. I am worried that I still feel nothing...am I worrying for nothing? Is this common to be at this level, and not feeling restriction? They never tell you it could be months before you get restriction from the surgery.

Thanks so much-

Maybe your band holds 14ml. My band holds 9ml and I had 2ml 1st fill and 2ml 2nd fill. I had my second fill five days ago and I still haven't got restriction like others talk about, I can eat anything. Like you, I hope the 3rd fill does it for me.

targa,

sorry I'm not filled yet so I can't talk from experience.

did you try searching the fill specific threads in the forum to see what others have posted in the past?

one thing for sure is that there seems to be waaaay too many sizes of bands so things seem to be totally variable.

I personally have a 10cc, and am not scheduled for a fill until the 24th of november, but at this point, I'm not even sure if I will need one then....I still seem pretty tight from my initial surgery.

i just got 4 cc in my 1o cc band. i dont feel restriction such as not being able to eat certain foods. everything goes down ok for me. I dont get full after 3-4 tiny bits, i tend to get full around 3 oz i had a taco salad for lunch and right now am just starting to get hungry again so i would say that is good. Is this the restriction others have? I dunno. i believe i have it because when i drink water it sits in the bottom of my throast for a bit and then it feels like a funnel effect. my doc also said i wont hit my sweet spot until around three fills. I feel good tho now. IM glad i dont have any sliming with certain foods. i do take small bites of everything.

Hi this is my 1st time on a forum ever so i hope i do it right.You have asked the question that i have been concerned about ,i have had 2 fill`s 6mall up my dr seid that there is 2 in the tube that go,s to the port and 4 in the band itself but i still have no restriction.Im hoping that my next fill works im going to tell the dr to fill that little sucker up to the top lol good luck:redface:
